Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Huh, I'm so tired!"

Han Fei, who was sitting next to Li Si, looked up at Li Si, and then said with a smile: "My brother is only 30 years old this year, and he is full of energy in his thirties, so why is he talking about fatigue here? Could it be because of his young age?" Is the concubine too pleasant?"

Li Si snorted, and scolded with a smile: "You know my family background. Now my heirs are only one boy and three daughters. How can this be reassuring? You must know that autumn is sown and summer is born, there is no spring cold, no autumn cool breeze, Not to mention the coldness of winter, it is the best time."

Han Fei blinked, and said: "I have heard that the Handan dancer is not only beautiful, but also has a wonderful style between the bed curtains. From the perspective of my brother, this statement is true."

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.

After a while, the laughter gradually died down.

Han Fei threw down the slips in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "There is a problem with the plan this time."

Li Si glanced at Han Fei with an unchanged expression, and said, "What's the problem? There should be a problem with the plan. If there is no problem at all, then it is our negligence."

Han Fei sighed and said, "Brother misunderstood, I didn't mean that, but there are too many problems."

After a pause, Han Fei picked up the slip in his hand and said, "My brother, let's take a look at this report. It said that Shi Lefeng, the county magistrate of Zhongshan, took bribes wantonly to open the door for others, and even The crime of colluding with other officials to exchange new grain for old grain is an out-and-out corrupt official."

Li Si hummed, stretched out his hand and said slowly: "And show me this report."

After a while, Li Si put down the report in his hand and said, "If this report is true, then Le Fenghe's head will fall."

Han Fei nodded in agreement, took out another slip, and said, "My brother, look at this one again. It's about Yu Kang, the prefect of Hanoi County. There are also many crimes on it, and they all seem to be It's incriminating."

"There is also this one, which is about the crimes committed by Lian Meng, the capital of Daijun."

"This report contains the results of Zheng Fan, the prefect of Hejian County, in the past year. From this point of view, it should be regarded as low-level, but in the last year's calculation, Zheng Fan's results were in the upper-middle class. .”

"and also"

The smile on Li Si's face disappeared completely, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious.

The people Han Fei mentioned just now, although their positions and ages are different, but they have one thing in common, that is, they are all real people in the court, and their backers are just like Li Si. Other important ministers of Zhao Guo.

After a long time, Li Si suddenly let out a hey, and said, "It seems that there are many people secretly wrestling for the trick this time."

Han Fei nodded and said, "That's right. Judging from the reports submitted today, [-]% of them are in the lower middle class or even lower class, only [-]% are in the middle class, and the remaining half are in the upper middle and upper class." My lord, this is very unusual."

Neither Han Fei nor Li Si had presided over the work for the first year, so they understood the weirdness of this ratio very well.

Generally speaking, in a normal year, about [-]% of the officials of Zhao State would be rated as medium, that is to say, they belonged to the qualified level with no merit or fault. What these people usually get is neither promotion nor demotion.

About [-]% of Zhao's officials will be rated as middle-lower and lower-lower, that is, the level of failing. Generally, the middle-lower will be warned or demoted, and the lower-lower will be demoted or dismissed. To be held accountable.

The remaining [-]% ​​of officials are upper middle and upper upper, that is, the kind that can be promoted.

Half of them passed the exam, a small number were promoted and a small number were demoted. This is basically the case for Zhao Guo's tricks for decades.

But this year, [-]% of the officials are unqualified. Compared with previous years, it has almost tripled. The qualified officials are only half of the previous years, and the outstanding officials are only less than a quarter of the previous years. one!

Li Si's eyes flickered, and after a while he suddenly said: "Could it be that there is something wrong with our control over the lieutenant?"

Han Fei shook his head and said decisively: "This is absolutely impossible. This is not the first time we have presided over the plan. If there is a problem, it should have been done long ago."

Li Si nodded solemnly, and said, "Then what went wrong?"

Han Fei said: "Judging from these reports, when the subordinates went down to find out the situation this year, the number of secret informers suddenly increased several times, and all of them were well-founded, which is really surprising."

Li Si was silent for a while, before he couldn't help sighing: "It seems that many people are really eyeing that position. By the way, is there any report against him in the territory of the one in the north?"

Han Fei said: "There are also, but they are all small things, such as strict military laws and the like, but there are quite a lot of attacks on his subordinate generals."

Li Si snorted, and there was no more doubt in his heart: "Okay, very good. Did you use our trickery as a wrestling field for entering the gate of Dragon Terrace?"

When he said this, Li Si's face was clearly angry.

One must know whether Shangji's work is done well or not is directly related to Li Si's future. This time, Shangji turned out to be like this. If Zhao Dan is dissatisfied with this, then Li Si must be responsible.

When Li Si thought of this, he finally couldn't help but slammed his fist on the table: "It's simply too crazy to treat major national events as a stage for political struggle!"

Han Fei persuaded from the side: "My brother, don't be angry. In my opinion, there is something weird about this matter now. If we act rashly, we may be taken advantage of by others."

Li Si snorted heavily, and said: "Don't worry, I naturally understand the strangeness of this matter. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see the king in person and present all the details of this matter. I will then see what they should do." Go face the wrath of the king!"

Chapter 797 Longtai Newcomer (First Update)

Li Si is a person who does what he says, so the next morning, he brought a cart of bamboo slips into the palace.

Zhao Dan looked at Li Si ordering Zhao's court guards to carry several large baskets of bamboo slips, and couldn't help but feel a little weird: "What are you doing now, is the lieutenant's paper not enough?"

Li Si chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, what a precious thing paper is, how can it be used in these places? I will write it on paper and submit it to Your Majesty when it is collected."

Regarding Li Si's performance, Zhao Dan could only shake his head speechlessly.

From the first day of its appearance, all the ministers of Zhao State who have used paper have been completely impressed by this magical and convenient thing.

As a result, many important ministers of Zhao State used their official equipment for private use, and used the paper sent every month for their own use, and their subordinates could only use bamboo slips and so on.

For this point, Zhao Dan does not intend to be too harsh, after all, the output of paper mills has been rising year after year, and now it has slowly become popular in Handan City.

At the same time, several shops quietly began to sell paper in Handan City. Although the quality of the paper is much worse than that of the official Zhao State, it is indeed usable, so the supply is also in short supply. .

With the first person to eat crabs, there will be second, third and even more.

Businessmen always have a keen sense of smell, so after realizing the ease of use and mass production of paper, some people began to do everything possible to find out the secret recipe, and bought back a large amount of paper for their own craftsmen to study how to make.

All in all, the current paper is still something that ordinary people can’t afford, but Zhao Dan believes that with the businessmen’s desire for profit and the expansion of large-scale production, one day paper will become everywhere in the world.

Moreover, Zhao Guo’s officials actually have a lot of benefits in this. For example, the controller behind the few shops that sold paper in Handan City was actually Zhao Dan himself.

The emperor's family has no food left.

In fact, Zhao Dan is now planning to build a private institution like the Shaofu to manage property for himself and Zhao Wang's family.

Private money, a word that makes any man sound excited.

Throwing away the thoughts in his mind that he didn't know where they diverged, Zhao Dan looked at Li Si in front of him and said, "Could it be that something happened in the upper hand when entering the palace today?"

Just looking at the bamboo slips brought by Li Si, Zhao Dan knew that there must be something wrong with the plan, and the problem must be not small.

This actually surprised Zhao Dan.

After all, in Zhao Dan's view, the officials of the Legalist family should be more reliable, able to handle affairs and not afraid of offending others, which can be seen from the confrontation between Li Si and Zheng Zhu last year.

But now that Li Si actually entered the palace, and brought so many things with him, it proved that Li Si had also encountered something that he could not solve.

Li Si smiled wryly, and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know something, this time's plan is really weird."
